but why login as root? why not use 'su' or 'sudo', logging in as root all the time isn't recommended

I selected LXDE at the GDM. Logged in. Rebooted. The LXDE was still
selected when
I logged in a second time.
In my system I have a hidden file, which stores my desktop selection
to remember it:
$ cat $HOME/.dmrc
[Desktop]
Session=LXDE
first time I ever try LXDE and is indeed quite fast.
If only I could get root to work then, you'll notice if you logged as root, it doesnt save the session even if that file is there. Also from my previous post, it should have been PREFERRominED=/usr/bin/startlxde
